Moroccan parties condemn assassination of Hamas’ deputy leader.

Two Moroccan parties, the PJD and the PPS, along with Moroccan associations, have expressed their condolences to the Palestinian Islamist movement Hamas following the assassination of its deputy head of the political bureau, Saleh Al-Arouri. The incident occurred during an Israeli drone raid on Tuesday in the southern suburbs of Beirut, the Lebanese capital.

The PJD and the PPS, prominent political parties in Morocco, have joined a group of Moroccan associations in extending their heartfelt sympathies to Hamas over the tragic loss of Saleh Al-Arouri. This gesture comes in the wake of a targeted attack carried out by an Israeli drone in the southern outskirts of Beirut, Lebanon’s capital city.

Saleh Al-Arouri, a key figure within Hamas, was serving as the deputy head of the movement’s political bureau when he fell victim to the fatal airstrike. This incident has sparked widespread condemnation, prompting various entities in Morocco to express their solidarity with the Palestinian cause and offer their condolences to Hamas.

The PJD, known as the Justice and Development Party, and the PPS, which stands for the Party of Progress and Socialism, have both expressed their deep sorrow over the tragic event. These parties have long been active in Moroccan politics, advocating for social justice, progress, and the rights of the people. Their decision to publicly mourn the loss of Saleh Al-Arouri underscores their commitment to supporting the aspirations of the Palestinian people and their struggle for justice and self-determination.

In addition to the political parties, several Moroccan associations have also conveyed their condolences to Hamas in the aftermath of this targeted assassination. These associations, representing various sectors of Moroccan society, are known for their engagement in humanitarian causes and their unwavering support for oppressed communities worldwide.

The use of a drone to carry out such a lethal attack has raised concerns and intensified discussions regarding the use of military technology in conflicts. The incident has ignited debates surrounding targeted assassinations and the violation of territorial sovereignty. Moreover, it has shed light on the ongoing tensions in the region, particularly between Israel and Palestine.

The expressions of condolences from the PJD, the PPS, and Moroccan associations demonstrate the solidarity and sympathy felt by a significant segment of Moroccan society toward the Palestinian cause. It emphasizes the importance placed on advocating for justice, human rights, and the pursuit of peaceful resolutions to conflicts in the Middle East.

As the fallout from this tragic event continues, it remains to be seen how the international community will respond to the escalating tensions and the loss of Saleh Al-Arouri. The incident serves as a stark reminder of the fragility and volatility of the situation in the region and underscores the urgent need for a comprehensive and lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
